Andy Stavros was the selling agent for our new home. Our requirements were tough, the location was in unique coastal area in Southern California requiring a lot of local knowledge. Andy started by listening allowing him fit our requirements into a very challenging location. He soon began to show us houses and refined what he was showing based on our comments. He was very patient and had deep local knowledge. We saw a few homes and then found a beautiful house but is was a little out of the price range. This was not a problem for Andy, he suggested we make an offer and begin the negotiation process. He handled everything with the listing agent and negotiated a very fair price for both parties. Since this area was in a canyon and close to the beach there were some things that needed to be inspected or approved. This included a geological survey of the property, a flood plain review, and a foundation inspection. Andy recommended qualified vendors and coordinated the inspections. Once the property went into escrow Andy even assisted us with the move and coordinated local services like cable and internet. He was professional and very personal at every step of the process and made us comfortable with a very big change. Buying a home is never easy and always stressful but Andy made the process simple and put my wife at ease. I recommend Andy Stavros to anyone looking to buy a home in the coastal area of Southern California
